Cookware
tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction
will help you
select the correct cookware for your needs.
l
NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency,
use only flat-bottomed
cook-
ware in good condition.
l
The pan
should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting
lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
. The pan material
(metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
l
Handles
should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
l
Pans
should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges or
areas where food might collect.
l
Be sure pans
do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l
Use cookware
only as it was intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions.
This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
l
If the flame should go out while
cooking, or if there is a strong gas
odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five
minutes for the gas odor to disappear
before relighting burner. If gas odor is
still present, see safety note on page 3.
Failure to follow these precautions
could result in explosion or fire.
l
Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame could burn you and
cause poor cooking results.
l
Be sure all control knobs are turned to
OFF when you are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a fire
couM start if a burner is accidentally
left ON.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot sucace
burner.
The utensil could overheat and could
damage the utensil or cooking product.
